Lin Zhen still had 100,000 left in his hand. He left the trading house and went to an inn, where he rented a room and settled down.
The currency in the Original World seemed to be relatively stable, as several million or tens of millions could buy a lot of good things.
Such a high-rise room only cost three hundred a night.
After checking into the room, Lin Zhen first entered the Dark Star Space.
After the Dark Star Space stabilized, Lin Zhen could use the world teleportation to enter his own space.
Once inside, Lin Zhen appeared under the Star Fruit Tree.
The Star Fruit Tree covered the sky, blocking the starlight from the two Constant Stars, Yue Bei and Ying Huo, above the sky.
The tree had grown so large that if it were on Earth, it could even cover a small country.
Looking through the gaps in the leaves, one could see the lush greenery, dotted with starlight floating, all of which was the brilliance emitted by the Star Crystal.
Unfortunately, these Star Crystals could only support people’s cultivation up to the Constant Star Stage, and there would be no more Star Crystals available for use beyond that.
A huge Cloud-climbing Vine winds around the tree, thanks to this vine, the tree’s infinite growth is restricted, preventing the Dark Star from being drained of energy one day.
Lin Zhen spent some time searching and found the most abundant spiritual energy in the valley where the Star Fruit Tree was located. He found a stone pit in the valley.
He poured the space spirit spring into it, forming a puddle of spring water.
The surrounding spiritual energy was attracted by the spring water, and the water vapor from all directions converged, causing the spring water to gradually grow.
Perhaps one day, this place will become a pond or a lake.
But it will never become an ocean, as Lin Zhen needs the spring water here to water the plants.
He also planted plants near the valley.
In the Dark Star Space, Lin Zhen’s will was higher than everything else. He didn’t even need to do it himself, with a single thought the soil automatically turned over and covered the seeds, and the spring water automatically watered them.
Even the leaves of the Star Fruit Tree would voluntarily reveal a small gap, allowing sunlight to shine through and promote plant growth.
At the same time, he placed another Heart of Star Plants, making the Dark Star’s vitality even more abundant.
Lin Zhen could even feel the seeds taking root and sprouting beneath the soil. Perhaps a day later, this place would be covered with lush greenery.
“These herbs will soon mature, and what I lack most right now is the experience and skill in alchemy.”
Lin Zhen sighed. If he practiced alchemy, he would have an advantage in addition to the Dark Star: he possessed a deep blue Flame Power, which was the most powerful Dan Fire.
But Lin Zhen still lacked experience and skill in alchemy. He might not succeed when he first started making elixirs, and with his current financial resources, he couldn’t afford such consumption.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t think too much about it. When the time comes, the problem will solve itself. His days in the Original World are still long, so there is no need to rush at this time.
Leaving the Dark Star Space, Lin Zhen returned to his bed at the inn.
Leaning against the head of the bed, Lin Zhen opened the book he had received from the spring water seller.
The book was very old, with yellowed pages. It’s unknown how many years it has been around. More importantly, this book was hand-drawn, not printed, which means it is a unique copy.
This kind of thing can either be called a unique work or just a casual doodle. It would not be included in the Dimensional Universe, so it might be the only book of its kind in the entire universe.
He opened the first page of the book, and there was a lifelike Black Hole Beast sketched on it.
“I remember when I joined the Galaxy Hands Alliance, Han Sha told me that there was only one record of a Black Hole Beast appearing in the history of the entire universe, but that should have happened in the New World.”
“Here in the Original World, someone must have seen the Black Hole Beast, otherwise, they couldn’t paint such a vivid picture. I wonder if this one is the same one from the New World.”
On the picture, the Black Hole Beast has a huge black hole vortex on its head, standing hundreds of meters tall, like a small mountain. This is an adult Black Hole Beast, at least at the World King level.
There were also notes on the book.
“Black Hole Beast, a variant of the Kirin Beast, does not have a specific attribute, can also be called all attributes, can launch black holes to devour everything, is one of the most powerful and mysterious Galaxy Beasts in the universe, extremely rare in number.”
Lin Zhen carefully flipped through the pages with his finger.
“The Black Hole Beast has three divine powers. One is the Black Hole Storm used in battle, which is its strongest means. The second is the Devouring ability during growth. The Black Hole Beast will find suitable things to devour and thereby enhance its strength, making it one of the fastest-evolving Galaxy Beasts.”
“In addition to these two, the Black Hole Beast has another ability: Soul Searching!”
Seeing this, Lin Zhen paused for a moment, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.
“The Black Hole Beast, or those with the bloodline of the Black Hole Beast, are naturally born Spiritual Mind Masters, superior in the use of Spiritual Power compared to ordinary people. They may master soul techniques at a young age and possess powerful soul power.”
“Soul Searching is the Black Hole Beast’s method of depriving others of their memories. Killing the opponent and possessing all their memories, it absorbs the useful parts for its own use. This is a unique and powerful ability of the Black Hole Beast, and the specific usage method is as follows…”
Reading this, Lin Zhen closed his eyes.
He had mastered Soul Lock long ago, grasping spiritual power faster than others, and possessing immense soul power.
He was the one with the bloodline of the Black Hole Beast. As for why this was the case, Lin Zhen now had a guess. It might be because his soul had traversed through a black hole. What exactly had happened when he was reborn?
Why, after passing through the black hole, did he possess the bloodline of the Black Hole Beast? All of this was still unknown.
However, it seemed that Soul Lock was just a beginner version of Soul Searching. When you used Soul Lock on someone, although the person would tell you everything without reservation, you still had to ask questions one by one, which wasn’t particularly convenient.
The real Black Hole Beast technique was Soul Searching!
Killing an enemy and completely stripping them of their memories – what a tempting thing to do!
Upon arriving in the Original World, Lin Zhen felt that there was so much more to learn. But if he wanted to make a name for himself in this world of strong ones, it was impossible to move forward step by step.
If used properly, this Black Hole Beast’s Soul Searching technique could be of great help to him!
He just didn’t know if Soul Searching had any side effects for him, whether it was unlimited Soul Searching or limited. Even if it was limited, it was still very useful.
Following the methods on the pages, Lin Zhen carefully studied the Black Hole Beast’s Soul Searching skill.
After countless research and calculations, it took him a whole night to fully master the Soul Searching technique.
“Phew! This is great, Soul Searching, hahaha! Everyone in this world, as long as they are my enemies, can become my knowledge base. How can I not understand this world? One Soul Searching is enough for you to learn a whole lifetime!”
However, Lin Zhen discovered that Soul Searching wasn’t unlimited. After one Soul Searching, the new soul power would need a period of integration with his own soul. For those with weak soul power, perhaps a month would be enough. For those with strong soul power, it might take several years or even more than a decade to fully recover.
“That doesn’t matter, when I search for memories from other people’s souls, I will only choose what’s right and what’s useful for me.”
Lin Zhen made up his mind in his heart, being careful in his choices since it wasn’t unlimited Soul Searching.
After learning Soul Searching, Lin Zhen meditated in his hotel room, cultivating for a full seven days.
There was an abundance of spiritual power in the Original World, and the speed of cultivation was ten times faster than in the New World.
Lin Zhen utilized the Time Deceleration field, and these seven days were equivalent to more than 500 days of ordinary cultivation in the New World!
Lin Zhen was an absolute genius in this life, a genius among geniuses. Seven days of hard work helped him make great strides on the Star System Level 4 path, reaching the Four-level Middle Stage.
The Dark Star Space inside his body also expanded, but there was still a long way to go before lighting up the Five Ghosts Star.
On the eighth day, someone called Lin Zhen in his Dimensional Universe.
There was no one else who could call Lin Zhen at this time; he only knew one person in the Original World, Ge Yunjie.
“Little brother Lin, our New World Hometown Association is holding a gathering. You haven’t officially met everyone yet. Come and meet them. Everyone also wants to meet you.”
“Alright, brother, I’ll be there in no time. Just send me the address.”
Ge Yunjie sent Lin Zhen an address, asking him to hurry over.
As for Ge Yunjie, Lin Zhen was grateful. Without his one million, Lin Zhen would probably still be worried about money right now, not to mention the rare friendship that emerged from their chance encounter.
So, if Ge Yunjie had any requests, Lin Zhen didn’t want to refuse as long as he could manage it.
He left the hotel after getting up. He had spent more than two thousand in these seven days, so he only had over seven thousand left.
The Wood King Mansion’s city had a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers and a complex landscape; it was a bit tiring to rely on oneself to travel.
Walking on the street, Lin Zhen saw many people riding various types of animals, such as unicorns, dragon horses, and even birds.
There were countless types of native Original World beasts that could be tamed, which were both convenient and stylish.
For example, the Dragon Horse Lin Zhen saw could run through the Original World at sub-light speed, something he couldn’t do yet.
“Once my medicinal materials grow, I’ll try to refine them into elixirs. If not, I’ll specialize in selling medicinal materials, as I believe that making money that way will also be fast. At that time, I’ll get a mount to try out, so I won’t have to go through all this trouble on the road.”
It took almost an hour for Lin Zhen to reach the place Ge Yunjie had mentioned.
Inside a small alley, there was a vermilion gate with the words “New World Hometown Association” written in a lively, flying dragon and dancing phoenix style.
Lin Zhen knocked on the door, and someone immediately came out to open it.
Entering the courtyard, he found that many people had already gathered here.
Lin Zhen heard Ge Yunjie’s loud voice: “Look, our little brother has arrived, from the Original World, the genius Lin Zhen! You should all know him, hahaha! Welcome, welcome!”
Scattered applause sounded, and countless eyes turned towards Lin Zhen.
